The Christmas music has arrived, so we can start identifying the grinches early! I choose to assume that is what is happening considering we recieved 3 referrals in a week. But even Cindy Lou Who needs Jesus Christ, so when someone gets referred.. so do their neighbors and anyone else in plain sight!
In effort to save our miles, we walked to a part members home for a lesson on repentance. On our way, we saw a man sitting in front of a dumpster. We walked over to talk to him, but he was more interested in the ashes falling from his cigarette to the ground. After a few minutes he began to open up to us. He told us about the mistakes he made and that his wife and children left him. H e said he knew he shouldnt be smoking, which opened up the door for me so I asked him why he was. He said he didnt know what else to do. I know that no worldly pleasure compares to Christs ability to mend a broken heart and contrite spirit. So in that moment I felt prompted to ask him for his cigarette.. not quite something I wanted to do, but if it be wisdom in God! When I did, I was suprised because after he reached out to hand it to me he then gave me his lighter and the rest of the pack! In return we gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon and promised him that if he reads it, it will bless his life and help him change. Only through the power of Christ can we truly change who we are and become who we want to be. He thanked us and told us he would turn to God.
We're all on the same team, playing the same game. When someone falls down, we have to help them get back up!

Repentance is a beautiful change, and it should be treated as such! It ain't our place to judge, God hates the sin, but loves the sinner! Always be willing to help lift those around you!
Keep on keepin on,
Have a blessed week!
